    Hey everyone.

    I am contemplating building a class 2 cruiser (we use the old MWC ruleset). It says in the rules that the depth of the hull can be increased to compensate for the increased weight of the ship. Ok, great, that is a good thing. However, the problem is I don't know how much the depth of the hull should be increased. I thought I saw somewhere that 3/8" is the general rule. Is that correct? I figure it is actually somewhat different depending on the ship, so I am really just looking for a general rule-of-thumb.

    Thanks.
